Two Words to describe this device
Amazing and Awesome
and its 100 times better than an i-phone
iphone - no bluetooth, no mms, no 3G
orbit 2 - 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, CoPilot, MMS, Email, TouchFlo, Windows Mobile 6......
Fantastic device, why waste 300+ on a i-fail phone when you can have this device, i cannot praise this device enough....LOVE IT!

Is the battery life really less on this than on the Touch Cruise (5 hours talk time vs 7 hours)? I find it strange as it's essentially the same phone in a different, imho more aesthetically pleasing, skin.

I have been an engineer on XDA products for 4 years and i have to say that this is great! i have taken this apart and the parts inside are top quality. An all round nice pda highly recommended good upgrade from the original orbit just becareful of the screen ie dont drop it.
10/10 in my technical opinion

Hi,
I have upgraded an existing contract with o2 for 25pounds a month which is an 18 months contract and phone was given free of cost. As suggested by some in previous threads, i threatened to cancel my contract saying that orange is going to give HTC Touch dual ,free for 25 pounds a month. the rep offered me this tariff which i found to be very cheap and i took the offer the very next moment he offered it to me. Propably some of you can get this handset for a similar cheaper tariff if you try this way.

Hi All,
I got a letter from O2 requesting the additional CoPilot s/w they sent me with the phone back. So I rang them.
Just got of the phone to O2 (customer retentions) and got a new deal off them.
Original deal taken out 05/02/08.
24 month @ £40 with a £5 customer loyalty discount, phone free.
New package.
18 month @ £35 with a £5 customer loyalty discount, phone £49.99. Also one free month rental for all the hassle.
I used the argument (which is true) that when I ordered on 05/02/08 I was quoted 2 prices. I was specifically asked if I wanted the Orbit 2 with or without CoPilot s/w. All the prices with CoPilot were £50 more than without.
The O2 rep (Adrian) agreed with me that this was wrong, a throwback to the original Orbit which was available with CoPilot at £50 extra. He agreed to move me to the 18 month tariff with me paying £49.99 for the phone. I then asked if we could do anything about the phone charge and he agreed to a free month’s rental. So the phone has cost me £15.
I am sorry if this comes across as sexist but I was getting nowhere with this speaking to women, they didn’t understand my position. Eventually I got put through to retentions and got a man. Sorted.
Andrew.

To NATALIE.
Yes you can watch YOUTUBE and even AOL or YAHOO Videos onb this device!!!!
All you have to do is to install VTAP on the device and you will be able to view them videos. I do this and claristy is clear enough to view.
It sometimes get stuck when have too many programs running in the back ground, so I suggest close all tother running programs before using VTAP.
Email me for more other apps you would like to use,I might email them if they arte not too big for emailing.
Have fun!!

Natalie, here is some EXCELLENT apps.
Yes AND no!!!
No,you can't do it straight from the Youtube website but ONLY through this VTAP application.
Yes,you can play YouTube videos on it.Just download the VTAP application on it andyou can search for many videos.
Another nice application to have is TCMP that support all types of media files. I gotit right to ply even iPod files on it with this application.
Always install the apps onto the memory card to save space on the main memory.This will also increase the speed of the Orbit 2.
You can email me at henning.ras@gmail.com or contact me at 07763113535 UK London

i'm using an Orbit 2 in the US and all features and functions are working very well... i flashed my device with a custom WM 6.1 ROM mainly for the threaded chat and the additional Storage ROM (from 89MB to 144MB)... call clarity and loudness is very good, no bluetooth issues, 3G works well and overall i'm pretty happy. too bad there are no US carriers offering this phone...

Dear Fellows,
This is such a great phone but be careful if you make long calls this phone is worthless. it gets too hot if I talk for more than 30 minutes. and it does'nt stop there if I keep on talking it starts burning my ears. So watch before you buy....
